>light fast compact ultra high damage output weapons with single pilots and requiring minimal support and easily stolen/hijacked
Sounds like terrorism is even more viable than it is today
>>
>>13751038
That's like asking if terrorism is viable when tanks and IFVs exist. Mobile Suit and Gundam-jacking is pretty common, way more so than with tanks so I'd say MS are the best terrorist weapon since the RPG and the AK-74.

And weren't the Sleeves terrorists? I'm pretty sure the Sleeves were terrorists. They didn't seem like a legitimate Zeon movement like Neo-Zeon or Char's Neo Zeon or even the Delaz Fleet.

Considering they all have equivalents of nuclear reactors on board and can be piloted by a single person, yes

>>13751038
Terrorism is always viable.

>>13751038
I fail to see why it wouldn't be

wouldn't that be all the more reason to resort to terrorist acts?

Reminder that terrorism has not historically resulted in regime change.

Also if you're using a significant amount of heavy military hardware you're closer to fighting a conventional war than terrorism.

From what I understand, the Sleeves was a nickname for Neo-Zeon since they put all that fancy junk on the end of their sleeves.

Uh isn't that how the United States became a thing?
>>
>>13752488

No, the US became a thing due to being sponsored by a foreign superpower while the colonists rebelled against the other foreign superpower.

A war of independence, like the American or Algerian ones, is a bit different from a terrorist movement.

>>13752488
Rebellion =/= terrorism

It's about methods, anon.
>>
>>13752631

Anon one is a memeword repurposed in the last few decades to vilify revolutions despite originally referring to the evils of a tyrannical state

The other is the true name
